Zkittlez breeder Royal Budline wins on April 20th. $40,000
Good day lovers, gardeners, farmers, breeders and pharmacy buyers. Our tolerance is spaceship high after 4/20 on Hippie Hill, plus dabs to judge for The Emerald Cup. Today we smoke fresh Pledg from Sherbinskis, Zkittlez from MOCA Humboldt and East Coast Sour Diesel from UJ.
A deluge of new candy, peaches, gas, and tropical terps awaits you online and across the US. The expansion of the weed universe continues to accelerate, just in time for warmer weather. The 4/20 sales, strain debuts, clone drops, and contests feel like drinking out of a flamethrower. But we faced it and distilled this fat dollop of cannabis genetic intelligence for you. Presentation: Leafly Strain News Weekly #3.
New or updated variety detail pages:
- Jungle Sunset out of Seed Junky takes you on a sweaty cruise.
- turtle cake out of turtle cake hits that dessert note.
- The Lemon Runtz The variety adds more lemon to Runtz — never a bad idea.
